Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid’s heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

      Donnie Wahlberg was a New kid on the block??? Wow. I had no idea!

      I’m used to the normal transition between toddler pupae to child-like human. That’s when I though children were brand spanking new.

      Technically they aren’t that badly sized. You don’t want the whole wheel well filled with the tire, it needs room to move around. If they were ever to go offroading they would have plenty of room without their tires scraping against the body of the truck, although this pavement princess probably never sees dirt.

      You know that kid is just like “Mom, can we just go home? No I don’t wanna stand in front of any more trucks! Mom, stop being weird.”

      All the cars in that picture are ginormous. That’s crazy. Cars are trending to be larger here in Europe, but that is something else.

    The perfect height to deliver devastating head and chest injuries. It’s almost like they deliberately designed this thing to kill kids.

      Not to mention it’s so high up and the hood is so massive, you can’t see the ground for like 10 feet in front of it.

    2016 kia soul, it’s named “sir-hops-a-lot” because the gas petal is sensitive and someone who hasn’t driven it will ‘hop’ (also my love of frogs and that it’s green).


    (picture is a bit inaccurate due to the year)

    It was like ~$11.5k and we got it from a pretty small car dealership which is family owned that doesn’t squabble about prices. What’s on the website is what you get.
    I love my little frogmobile to death :3

      You don’t have to open the hood, you just bend a bit and work from under it. There probably even isn’t a hood.

    2021 RadPower Radrunner 2, a 2018 Chevy Bolt, and a 2008 Dodge Sprinter that runs on used cooking oil. The sprinter smells of fish and chips when I actually need that capacity of carry ability.

    Even the Sprinter’s hood is at least a foot and a half, if not two feet lower than that monstrosity, and I can shove way more into it than that thing can carry. I know because I have used it to move 10 ton loads of river rocks for a friend that was removing their lawn.

    Reminds me of the safety flags we used to have to attach to our Big Wheels so that drivers could see us.
